Question Aftermarket or Stock Clutch?

Took my car into Rotary Performance yesterday and they let me know that my clutch is almost completely dead. Now I'm going to have to pay about $360 for a new stock clutch, OR I could opt for this clutch for about $100 more:

ACT Street/Strip clutch 93+ RX-7.
http://66.216.67.51/product.asp?0=206&1=241&3=8

I had the pleasure of driving a CYM yesterday with an extremely stiff clutch (stage 5?) and the cleaner shifts were certainly impressive.

MY QUESTION
Should I drop the extra $100 and get the street/strip clutch? I hear it's not TOO heavy/stiff and that it's a perfect mix between a soft and hard ride. What benefits will I see from getting this better clutch?

That clutch is the one that I opted for, ACT street/strip. I have yet to get it but it should be here any day. I believe highly in upgrading if you are going to upgrade the performance of your car. It all depends on what you are going to do with the car.
On daily driving, I hear that the ACT street/strip does not have a noticable difference in feel. Basically, you will not have any troubles with daily driving it.

Get a kevlar disk if you take it to track every week....or if you are REALLY hard on your clutch.
